But maybe it will force population control on us whether we want it or not. The human death rate will rise. Disturbingly so.
Shit - I was reading about some GOP Congressman Sean Duffy, who just resigned to spend more time with his family. And his wife, whos having complications with her NINTH pregnancy. Theres a NINTH baby on the way???? Hes got EIGHT kids already and Number NINE is in the works now? Um ... when does this asshole plan to stop? If ever? Has he ever heard of ZPG (Zero Population Growth)? How does he plan to provide for them? Will his unfortunate wife die too soon because shes literally been fucked to death?
I say that, because I personally know a family to whom that happened. They were NOT wealthy. Beleaguered wife died during her eleventh pregnancy. Her ELEVENTH!!! Her poor body just finally gave out. She was buried with the fetus having been removed from her body and actually placed in her arms in her casket. And dad, who claimed it was his heritage to keep seeding all those babies no matter what, and keeping his wife crankin em out whether her body could take it or not, was left with ten motherless kids to deal with and try to raise on his own.
I could not help feeling outraged. Yes, I know its really none of my business and its not my place to judge or lecture. And we did our best to help that family in multiple ways. But Hell, I almost died giving birth to TWO. It was so rough on my body that my husband was first to declare that we were NOT having any more. And I heartily agreed.
That poor woman! Somebodys need to prove his so-called manhood actually killed his life-partner and left all those kids without a mother - some of them still quite little (when a child needs Mommy most intensely). Honestly, howd that work out for ya, dude?
I apologize for sounding insensitive. But were at seven BILLION+ now, and our planet CANNOT sustain such extremes of human overpopulation. There wont be enough room, enough housing, enough food! Enough clean drinkable water! Enough sanitation services and health services, and on and on and on. The migration of desperate people heading north to more livable (but dwindling) temperate zones (what remains of them anyway) will only multiply, and you know how well that goes over here with certain groups of voters already. This is NOT sustainable! Not for long, anyway. Were killing our planet. AND ourselves.
And it SURE AS HELL isnt pro-life.
